To' all whom it may concern:

citizenof Switzerland, residing, at Bern Liehefeld, Switzerland, have invented certain new and useful-Improvements in Anti- I septic. P-roducts and Processes of Making Same, ofwhich the following is a specification; I I I relates to the manufacture of antiseptic products which are also adapted. for use as afnutriment both for human bein'gs and animals, as a disinfectant and remwedy for external and internal application. I have found that acridine dyestuffs if fcom'bined with yeast or albuminous products, "morepespecially such as are obtained from" yeast, will result -,the, 'forinationf of --products possessing a high therapeutic and nutritive value.

- The following example will illustrate my invention: s Y

Ninety kilograms of drysyeast (or the corresponding quantity of raw wet yeast") are mixed with 200 liters of cold water. 1 A

solution of kilograms of 3.6-diamii'1o-1O niethylacridiniumchloride in" 200 liters'of hotwater is addedthereto and the mixture is brought by heating with steam or otherwise to a temperature of 90100 centigrade during an hour or two. Stirring furthers the proce'ss'of dyeing the yeast. As soon as all the colouringmatter is fixed, the mass is cooled and the-dyed yeast filtered or separated from the liquor by centrifuging or in any other suitable manner and thereafter dried at a low temperature, preferably in vacuo. The new compound thus obtained isa yellow-coloured powder which owns at the same time the properties of a nutritive prodnot and of arr antiseptic and a medicament Instead of raw yeast i'nits bitter condition, there can be used yeast whose bitterness has been removed, or purified yeast, or the compounds of yeast which are known under the names of nucleine or nucleinic acid or other albuminous bodies of similar properties'. Instead of 3.6-diamino-10 methylacridiniumchloride, other acridine dyestufi's sud" as for instance -2-aethoxy-6.9 diam-inoacridine, acridine yellow, etc. or the halogen'derivatives or other substitute-products ma be used.

p wish it to be understood that I dd not desire to be limited to the particular'sub,-.-

stances'named nor to the exact proportions and operations described, for obvious'modificatlons Wlll readily occur to .a person skilled the art. I

I claim:

1. The process of making an antiseptic and nutritive product, consisting in combining an albuminous body with an acridine derivative.

2. The process of making an antiseptic and nutritive product, consisting in'combining yeast with "an acridine derivative.

3. The. process of making an antiseptic and nutritive product, consisting in" dyeing an albuminous body with an a'cridine dyestufi'.-. I

4. The process of making an antiseptic yeast with an'acridine dyestufi.

5. The process of ma'king an antiseptic and nutritiveproduct, consisting 'in dyeing yeast 'with 3.;6-diamino-10 methylac'ridiniumchloride.

6. The, process ofmaking an antiseptic and nutritiveprodupt, consistingin mixing a watery suspensionof 90 parts by'weight of dry yeast with a watery solution of 10 parts by weight of 3.6 diamino-lO methylacridiniumchloride, heating to about 90 centi:

"grade, separating from the liquor and drying at low temperature.

- and nutritive product, consisting in dyeing 7. As a new product, a compound of an albuminous body with an acridinefderivative, such compound having a strong colour and possessing a vigorous bactericidal action and nutritive properties.

' 8. As a new product, the compound obs tained by combining yeast with 3.6 diamino- 10methylacridiniumchloride, such compound being intensely yellow coloured and possessing a vigorous bactericidal action and superior nutritive properties.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
